- Comment on One UI 8 New Features: A First Look at Samsung's Big Update | Tygo Cover 3 months ago:
In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.
The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.
In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.
So then I upgraded again with all the promises I’d read that it has improved performance and battery life and it’s dropped at least by another 15%.
My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.

By stopping the corruption in the mining sector, where politicians give the miners all of our resources tax free, and then get fat jobs with the miners, we could have everything we need and more.
How about we just stop the corruption, and get our free university, hospitals, and everything else like a modern country should.
- Comment on Quiz: can you pick a Victorian from a Queenslander? How our accents change from state to state 3 months ago:
Tax free miners getting rich of our resources. Our politicians getting fat jobs with them after finishing with government. Etc.
